*A quick note to you: This post was a little longer than normal (too much good stuff to share!), so if you’re reading through email only, you may need to click through to the web version or download the Substack app to read the whole post - I promise it will be worth it!*
I’ve come to realize that there are certain brands that are worthy of “best of” or “hero” titles. I realized this as I was reaching to put on my makeup this morning, so I pivoted directions this week on what I was going to write about because I thought this was a good one to share. I’m going to try to be as tight as possible, and focus on the products that I love and the “why" behind them.
Foundation(s): So this category is the workhorse here. When your skin looks great, the rest of your look falls into place. And the truth is, I can’t narrow it down to one or two. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say Chanel makes the single best foundations I’ve used. And I can’t even tell you which one is the best, because out of all the ones in my drawer, I love different ones for different days, depending on my needs. And then I have to include an honorary mention of two new additions to the arsenal that feel like they will be hanging tight in here and have earned their stripes in a short period of time.
